Re: Spring colors for darker skin

Grat liks!

In general, look at shades that are medium to deep or clear and vibrant rather than opaque pastels. The pastels with a white base will sit on top of your skin, rather than sinking into it. That can still be a cool look, just harder to pull off - have to be ready for it!

Re: Spring colors for darker skin

i've been really liking the nude look. neutral lips and shimmery peach on the lids only. chocolate cat eye 60s style liner. i'll try to find some pics of what i have in mind.

this is the look i'm thinking about. i'm still looking for similar looks on darker skin tones.










on this one the eyes are a bit much for me, but the lips are perfect.


this is super hot! i love this look!

Shimmery golds and even hot pinks would be fab.

Re: Spring colors for darker skin

It's funny you should bring this up. I was looking at the new MAC collection, and thought to myself, "Ugh, no--not for my skin color!"

Re: Spring colors for darker skin

i think with darker skin you can do all the same stuff you can do with lighter skin.... just think about your skin you need much more pigmented items. like if light pink is in for light skin go with a bright pink that will pop on your skin instead.
